Who gets copyright? What happens if other people do not follow the copyright given to him?
Copyright is a right given to the original author of a book, movie,etc. He has the right to distribute and adapt the work. Ever heard of people breaking copyright laws? Copyright is a very sensitive issue and the person who breaks the law can be sent to jail!
Why is copyright important?
People might think that the autor is unresonable to keep the information all by himself, but we must also understand how they will feel like if we just copy their information as if it were ours when it was they who actually spent all the time and effort in doing the work. We must also ask ourselves: Would you like it if someone copys your work?If your answer is no, then we must also respect other people's work and get permission from the author to use his work.
Ways to prevent breaking the copyright law:
- Do no copy more then 10% or more than 1 chapter of a book.
- Give credit to the person.(e.g if you took a video from somwhere, you must write which website you took it from.)
- Try to use your own words to paraphrase a certain idea that you took from the internet.
With this three easy steps, you will never be arrested for copyright issue. Remember them well!
